Purpose Physiotherapy Thirroul: Reviews
Fantastic experience: So grateful to Ben and the team for supporting me through my injury! Physio Ben was understanding, knowledgeable and such a legend.
Thank you for the great feedback Rei. We are so pleased to hear Ben and the team were able to support you through your injury.
Fantastic experience: Really appreciated working with Blake Guthrie whilst recovering from a knee injury. Blake was very supportive and knowledgable, learnt something new every session.
Thank you for your kind review Toby! We are delighted to hear that Blake was able to support you throughout your knee injury recovery. Wishing you all the best with your continued progress!
Fantastic experience: Bree provided exceptional service in developing an exercise program for my injured shoulder. Bree took the time to introduce me to a variety of exercises at my local gym which i anticipate will enable me to achieve a sustainable recovery. I highly commend Bree's expertise and professionalism.
Thank you Stephen, so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear Bree provided such exceptional support and helped you feel confident using exercises at the gym for your recovery.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience with Tess! She was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable. The massage was so relaxing and helped relieve a lot of tension. Highly recommend!
Thank you Jemma for your lovely review! We’re so glad you had such an amazing experience with Tess and felt comfortable and cared for throughout your appointment.
Fantastic experience: Jai at the Thirroul clinic was absolutely brilliant with my 15yo son who went to him with a hamstring injury from a soccer game. He spoke directly to my son and sent him home with exercises and instructions on how to care for himself over recovery time. He built on the exercises as the hamstring healed and at the end of recovery gave my son actionable exercises to continue to use and build on for hamstring health over his ongoing soccer career. Would recommend Jai at Purpose to anyone, and he is our go to for the whole family from now.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review Renata! We’re so glad Jai was able to support your son through his recovery and provide clear guidance and ongoing injury prevention strategies. We really appreciate your recommendation and trust in our team!
Fantastic experience: My rehabilitation journey has been seamless and my lifestyle enhanced by the amazing team at Purpose
We’re really happy to hear your rehabilitation journey has been so positive with the Purpose team Lorraine!
Fantastic experience: I went to Purpose Physiotherapy seeking pain relief for my neck which was extremely stiff and sore with limited mobility. After 4 sessions with Bree my neck is much improved. Bree was delightful to work with. She gave me exercises to do at home and she massaged my neck. Bree also did some dry needling which was most effective. The environment of Purpose Physiotherapy is great and inspires confidence. I highly recommend Bree and her team there.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review Claudia! We really appreciate your recommendation and kind words about the team and the clinic!

Fantastic experience: Great knowledge and have me all the information and exercises to get me a good recovery and better then it was before
Thank you Rhys, we really appreciate your feedback and support!
Fantastic experience: Had a great, positive experience with Ben. He explained my ski injury (ACL/MCL rupture & meniscus tear) and rehab plan really well, which gave me the confidence that my body could fix this. And it did! After 8 months, I’m back doing all the things I love to do and are even planning to return to skiing this winter. Ben is calm, kind and very knowledgeable. As a physio myself, but no longer working clinically, it was great to have him by my side on this road to recovery.
Thank you so much Ellen for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear Ben was able to guide you through your recovery and help you get back to doing everything you love.
Fantastic experience: Ben is a skilled Physiotherapist in both clinical terms as well as his empathetic and supportive approach to treatment. He helped me manage very difficult pre-surgery pain and encouraged pre-surgery hydrotherapy that would help me to regain strength and mobility post-surgery. He has a great team who, in my experience, are dedicated to helping clients achieve their recovery goals.
Your words are so kind, Lynne! We are glad Ben was able to support you through a challenging time and help you prepare well for surgery and recovery!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend seeing Bree or Ben at Purpose Physio, Thirroul. I appreciate they don’t just tell you to stop exercising- instead, they work with you to find practical solutions so you can stay active while recovering. Their sports knowledge and willingness to try different strategies made a huge difference for me.
Thank you Lisa! We really appreciate your recommendation and are very glad Bree and Ben were able to help you stay active while recovering!
Fantastic experience: Bree has been involved in my care for over 12 months following bilateral knee replacements, providing bi weekly remedial knee massage and a weekly group exercise program.

Thank you Julie Carter
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Julie! We’re delighted that Bree has supported you so consistently throughout your knee replacement recovery.
Fantastic experience: After suffering from severe plantar fasciitis in both feet for more than 18 months my sessions with Bree (shock therapy, massage, strength and conditioning) were what got me back on my feet.

Thankyou Ava
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Ben towards a goal of getting into running without injury. Ben has a strong focus on patient education and I’m starting to understand more about my body and how certain exercises should feel. I feel supported at Purpose and the video recordings of our sessions are really useful for home training. After 6 weeks of working on hip and knee alignment, I’m excited to say that I’ve started running! Shauna’s clinical strength classes have also been essential.
Hope you are well Liv!
Fantastic experience: Purpose is proof that a huge difference can be made within a small space at their Thirroul branch. The team is incredibly passionate about what they do, and goes the extra mile to make sure that their clients are well taken care of from the moment they step through the door. Ben, Jack, Josh, and the rest of the Purpose crew are incredible human beings, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to do my clinical placement as a physio student.
Wow what nice words!
Fantastic experience: Best in the business! Ben and Jack are both legends and I couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Thanks abbey!
Fantastic experience: After dislocating my knee, Purpose Physiotherapy came highly recommend for my recovery. From my first appointment, Jack has been professional, patient and has shown a genuine interest in my recovery. I have found Jack, Ben and the team to be courteous, professional, approachable and always down for a laugh. I can not praise Purpose Physiotherapy highly enough and have no trouble recommending them for anything.
You are a legend Kayleb
Fantastic experience: Ben, Jack and the wider PP team were tremendously helpful. From initial consultation over the phone, to the in person assessment, through to the sessions and weeks following my rehabilitation - Purpose’s commitment to the treatment of my reoccurring knee issue never wavered. Throughout the entirety of the rehab I was supported, guided and provided with personable, easy to digest and palatable structure. I felt years younger physically (and mentally/emotionally) post the 8 weeks with the Purpose team. I cannot recommend them more highly for the confidence they have instilled. 5 stars!
Thankyou for your kind words Hayden! We hope you continue your high level sports and your wicket keeping career blooms!
Fantastic experience: Had Jack help me with an abductor injury. Super helpful and helped me get back to fitness. Gave me easy exercises that helped rehab, and was super friendly whilst doing it
Hey thanks Harry! Good luck with the upcoming 2023 Waves season!
Fantastic experience: Have been going to Ben's exercise class. It is not often you get to do a strength and flexibility workout facilitated by a physio. It is great for anyone looking to improve range of movement without over stressing any injuries or issues.
Appreciate it Manuel. Hope the family and body is well over summer.
Fantastic experience: I had a niggling injury for months and eventually got in contact via the web with Jack. Was very happy with his diagnosis and vibe. He suggested an exercise class with Ben. What I liked from the get go was direct supervision and meaning in the movement. Within 2 months I've found a new range of exercises giving me a new inner strength. The other day I got out of bed with a spring in my step, that for years was unimaginable.
Cheers Tony! You lead a young man’s life and it’s a testament to yourself and body!
Fantastic experience: I was introduced to jack kyle and chris after my surgery in december. They have supported me overcoming difficulties with knee replacement and drop foot damaged nerves after the surgery. Home visits and now 1 day a week hydrotheraphy. I would highly recommend this team to my family and friends always positive and helpful Encouraging me to keep up with the resigme which had had a positive result with continuity of support my nerve damage has improved. Their ideas and knowledge is amazing for this young group of professionals.
Thankyou Anne. Kind words.
Fantastic experience: Ben, Jack and the rest of the team have been great to work with. Ben has a wealth of knowledge and is willing to go above and beyond to help with my injury. He treats you like family. Keep it up mate.

Thankyou Tara!
Fantastic experience: Ben and team have a real passion for their work. After years of trying to fix my lower back pain they gave me exercises and tips that actually worked! You feel like they go the extra mile to get you better.
Much appreciated Bob! Hope you are well
Fantastic experience: I sought help from the PP team for my ongoing health maintenance, to counter the effects of aging and to supplement my own exercise regime. A short, sharp and intensive 30-minute, one-on-one session, three times a week with Jack, Ben or Kye has literally transformed my life. I love the flexibility of sessions at Coledale or Bulli and I've never seen such commitment and care delivered from an allied health practitioner, ever. Can't recommend them enough.
Thankyou Sean
Fantastic experience: Purpose Physio has been great for our family! Ben has helped my daughter recover from a knee injury, my Dad improve an ankle issue and me personally resolve a running problem. The team are careful and thorough and they resolve the root cause of your issue. Great team, I recommend them!
Thanks Jesse! A few more family members since this. We appreciate you.
Fantastic experience: Great service and a gun team
Cheers Jordan
Fantastic experience: The most amazing practice I have been too! Not only did I feel completely comfortable and confident in the service I was being provided, but they were able to cater to all my needs and were so understanding. Will be recommending to all my family. Worth the travels for an amazing team
Thanks Nikita!
Fantastic experience: The best bunch of physios you’ll ever find!
Appreciate it April!
Fantastic experience: After experiencing 4 years of chronic hip pain & numerous health professionals, I visited Ben at Purpose Physiotherapy in Bulli after being advised by another surgery was my only option. In only 1 month, Ben has worked with me on my recovery plan & I am all but pain free. Even better I am about to commence my return to running & competing in triathlons after being advised I’ll never run again! I fully recommend Purpose Physiotherapy to anyone wanting a better quality of life & to move again with purpose!
Thankyou Cyd!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend seeing the boys at Purpose Physio! They go above and beyond to help you recover from injury and prevent further injury. They are super down to earth and have all your goals in mind. They deliver a great treatment plan designed for you and for your injury. They got me back running in no time. Can confirm I won't be going anywhere else :)
Hey thanks Klara! Hope the running is going well
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Ben from Purpose Physiotherapy highly enough! After seeking help for sciatica, Ben has shown me how to move my body and improve my strength with helpful exercises. Before seeing him I lacked the knowledge I needed to support my back pain. In only 6 weeks of commitment to our care plan I feel stronger and empowered with the ability to perform tasks by using the exercises Ben has taught me. If you ever need a physiotherapist Purpose Physiotherapy definitely has your back! (Pun intended)
Appreciate it Jessi!
Fantastic experience: I was having some ongoing back issues and Ben had me feeling better within a couple of visits. His suggested changes have made an enormous difference to me going forward. His knowledge of pilates as well physio is a major asset. I still attend his exercise classes when I can. He's a gentleman and I can't recommend him highly enough.
Much appreciated Phil
Fantastic experience: Great fellas . Gave me some lasting advice and they can really explain to you what the physio work is doing and what you can achieve.

Fantastic experience: Ben is the best Physio I have ever received treatment from. I have appreciated his practical approach and extensive experience. I attended Purpose Physiotherapy after experiencing some discomfort in my hip. Ben was able to quickly identify my issue and relieve the pain that I was experiencing. Ben also provided exercises and advice on how to address the underlying imbalances that had caused the symptoms and has developed a plan on how I can continue to build strength in current areas of weakness.
Cheers Andy!
Fantastic experience: Were great with my 2 year old daughter and her broken leg. Highly recommend!
Thankyou Liv. Hope your daughter is well
Fantastic experience: I have been visiting Jack and Ben for 10 months following a knee reconstruction due to a surfing injury where I fully tore my ACL, PCL and MCL. Ben and Jack have helped me both physically and emotionally through my rehab, always taking extra time to assist with all my concerns. Ben and Jack took me from not being able to walk or bend my leg to being able to run and train, because of them I feel like I can get back to surfing and normal life in a few more months. Highly recommend to all patients looking for skilled and caring physiotherapist.
Thanks Iouri. You have put all the hard work in. Jack and Ben will be on the beach watching your first surf come December!
Fantastic experience: After a series of shoulder dislocations I started going to see Ben at Purpose Physiotherapy. Ben has been able to educate me about my injury and provide rehabilitation that I can incorporate into every day activities. With Ben’s expertise I have been able to avoid surgery and strengthen the muscles required to stabilise my shoulder. Can not thank him enough for his dedication and support!!!
Thankyou Tara for your kind words. We are keen to see your strength return to those shoulders!
Fantastic experience: I had a telehealth with Ben for some sciatic pain I have had for a while. I was able to get an appointment quickly and the telehealth was very convenient for me because I don't live in Wollongong. Ben is super knowledgeable on the subject of back pain. Highly recommended.
Thankyou Kurt. We hope to continue to see you progress.
Fantastic experience: Ben and Jack are extremely knowledgeable and dedicated professionals, have extremely valued their ongoing Physiotherapy advice and treatments. Would highly recommend to anyone that needs high quality treatment in the area. Will definitely be going back. A+++++
Thanks Rusty Ryley
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Jack Rodda for about a year now, he has helped me through quite a few injuries, highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good physio
You sir. Are a legend
Fantastic experience: I saw Jack after I ruptured my ACL whilst playing soccer for Stingrays. I couldn't recommend him more highly - from his assessment and management initially on the field to his follow-up treatment and care off the field he was outstanding. His professionalism and knowledge made me feel confident in the decision making around my ACL injury and appreciated his empathetic nature regarding the significance of the injury and my rehabilitation goals. Wouldn't go anywhere else for physio in the future and can't thank Jack enough for his guidance and support!
Thanks Mads!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Ben the last couple of months following my knee surgery. I could not recommend a more friendly and professional practitioner who’s advice has allowed me to progress with my rehab quicker than anticipated. Highly recommend
Thanks Nick, Keen to see you back on the park next year!
Fantastic experience: I have seen Jack a few times. A wonderful physiotherapist. Always conducts himself with great professionalism; he is highly knowledgable and provide great treatment, advice and exercises. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jack and Purpose Physiotherapy.
Cheers Kass
Fantastic experience: I saw Ben last week hoping to get some answers for my knee. Ben has helped diagnose and put me on the right path for my meniscal cyst and suspected meniscal tear. Amazing physio with great professionalism. Highly Recommend
